The Vietnamese Language At Cornell
The Department of Asian Studies at Cornell offers courses in Vietnamese from elementary to advanced levels. The Vietnamese language program provides three years of language training, including one special course for heritage learners. Four language skills, including speaking, listening, reading and writing are important components of the course. Beginning and Intermediate Vietnamese courses focus on topics dealing with daily aspects of Vietnamese life. Advanced levels explore various issues in modern society through contemporary texts.
Courses offered in Fall 2009: VIET 1101, VIET 2201/2202 and VIET 3301. All new non-beginning students must see the instructor for placement. If you studied Vietnamese with me at Cornell last year you are exempt from the test.
Summer Travel Scholarships for Undergraduates The Department of Asian Studies is offering summer travel scholarships to undergraduates taking Asian language courses. Students who have studied an Asian language will have the opportunity to travel to the country where it is spoken, to improve their language skills, and to experience the culture firsthand.
Contact the office of Asian Studies in 350 Rockefeller Hall for more information.
